From the Megadeth forums, as posted on Blabbermouth

"And the gear switch that I went back to was incredible! And although I don't officially play Line 6 gear and never did, they did make me some incredible personal amps for recording with, and I used them on tour for quite a while, but I want the reliability and the consistency that I have always had with my Marshalls; that is why you saw me with my mighty, trusted Marshall custom cabinets I modified for myself for yourself on the Tour of Duty small venue/club underplay tour.

"I am super-stoked to be working with Nick Bowcott at Marshall again and especially the non-business things and chats we have. There is a lot of great things happening to/for me because of Nick B. and I thank you my friend. We are also on a strange journey together that I will keep secret until you see it first, but suffice it to say that Nick helped me get my first instructional column for a guitar magazine. And there is going to be a DVD video feature along with it and I am playing the new JVM Marshall amplifier, so listen close to this new amp in the lesson, too!

So it appears Dave is no longer using the custom Line6 amps or the Rocktron Prophecy anymore and has switched back to good ol tubes.

The guitar column will probably be Guitar World, as Nick Bowcott is an editor there.

Good, maybe the processed sound that has plagued every album since Rust in Peace will finally go away, and the killer, raw sound that was present on the 80's discs will return.

:cheers


This is why I like Ride the Lightning better than Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All.
